Abstract

The consistent equations for random force-free magnetic fields are obtained from the fluctuation and average equations of both momentum and induction ones based on the statistical approach. Some features of average force-free fields are discussed. This idea may be applied to explain many configurations of magnetic field in the astronomical environment.
